Description
Why a Gravity Chair?
Everyday we sit, stand, walk and run against an invisible force that we take for granted. Gravity is essential for our well being as it is the resistance against this force that stimulates muscle strength. Contrary to lying in bed, sitting requires our muscles to stabilize our posture. Therefore maintaining correct sitting posture is important for our physical and mental health.
However people with special needs and restricted mobility, are not able to stabilize themselves against the force of gravity which could result in muscle atrophy, negatively impacting bone density and the cardiovascular system.
Gravity Chair allows people with special needs to maintain their sitting posture with ease and in comfort.
Who is it for?
The Gravity Relaxation Chair is light, portable and simple to use by parents or caregivers and suits a wide range of client groups with varied occupational therapy requirements. For example, clients who can only lie down learn to sit in the Gravity Relaxation Chair. With clients who spasm, the chair absorbs the tension. Clients with scoliosis benefit with the addition of the wedge accessory which helps position the head and body comfortably. Clients with perception deficit or ADHD benefit from close contact with the chair which helps them stay calm.
